218 218 on the occurrence of keltic beds in leicestershire.

Discussion.

Prof. T. Rupert Jones referred to Mr. Harrison's exactness and praiseworthy energy in working ont the geology of Leicestershire, and also alluded to the enlightened and liberal support of science on the part of the Corporation of Leicester. He remarked that some of the bones found in the Bone-bed of the Spinney Hills were of large size and apparently perfect.

Mr. Judd pointed out the great interest and value of this new exposure of Rhaetic strata which had been so admirably described in Mr. Harrison's paper. Hitherto we had no knowledge of any sections of the beds of this age between those of the Warwickshire outliers described by the Rev. P. B. Brodie and that seen at Newark.

Prof. Seeley wished to correct an error into which he had fallen in describing a species of Tanystrophceus from Leicester. He had ascribed it to the Rhsetic beds ; but it was really from the Keuper.
